Well, it says that's what this thread is for. I doubt one person can do this all on their own, so...

Anyways. Should we put nominations up here?

*ArcT bounces up and down with hand up shouting "OOh! OOOH!!"

Keine probleme at all - I'd be doing the same thing Smile

Ahh, right. Is this writing driving, or other?

Writing is what I do- I have a deviation somewhere, but I don't so much want to write as have to. I write anything, everything and whatever my pen happens to scribble, rather than try to write something specific, so I'll be all over this forum looking around and noticing things. I can give criticism, but I make sure it's all constructive - there is no point in telling somebody that "U SUK LOLORZ" because that serves no purpose other than to insult and degrade people, and I tend to stick up for people who are subject to it. Running on the "If I was a mod" basis, I'd edit out any posts that are overly ridiculous, giving a reason for doing it - Edited for language/flaming/txt 5/034|</sake of humanity

I'm well experienced in netiquette and so forth- there are a lot of people who seem to think it's reasonable to swear or... for a want of a better word, name call, but I don't think it's necessary, and again, I tend to come down on people who do this to others- again, it's generally unnecessary. In the grand scheme of things, there's no reason for it.

That's about it really... I enjoy helping people out, although it makes me sound like a Miss America candidate, but 'tis true.

As for modding, I sort of tend to... I think it's technically called "camping", where I just sit on the forum just waiting for a reply. I'm busy doing other things while the interweb is open, of course- invariably writing things, but I check for replies to posts every so often. It's probable that I'd find anything out of the ordinary or "improper" quite quickly, and be able to rectify it myself, rather than PM someone for it to happen.

Then there's timezones, I guess. I'm on GMT myself, unsure of anyone else. If there's other people on GMT who are mods already, I guess it's immaterial Laughing

That's... about it, really Laughing

EDIT

Thanks

I put that up anyways, just in case Smile

ok, Figgy said this to me, and as she isn't here right now, I'd better say it...
Don't mess it up, becuase this site is her baby, and does not want it to die again...

But I'm sure you won't anyway, but just thought I should say that.
